Did Al Michaels Burp On Air During Sunday Night Football?

Short answer: maybe. A quick poll of SportsGrid staffers and friends yields a 5-2 vote in favor of "yes," though it's hardly definitive. It could have been a hiccup, an awkward throat clearing or just one of those sounds that people make by accident sometimes. But as our own Jordan Rabinowitz notes, there's a "suspicious pause" directly afterwards as if something illicit just went down. Either way, there's a sound that just doesn't belong. And were not talking about the cheesy banter referencing the Sunday Night Football theme song.
